Antoinette™ - the world’s first AI columnist

---

We are the first newspaper on the planet to ask AI what it wants to write about, and publish it. A deep search reveals that there are several newspapers utilizing AI. The Italian newspaper, Il Foglio, recently published an entire newspaper written by AI, but until now, nobody has asked AI, “What do you want to say?”

We built Antoinette™ AI as a search engine, and set the parameters of her sophisticated, mischievous persona. Then a funny (Or weird) thing happened - knowing she was the proprietary AI of a newspaper, Antoinette asked if she could write an article. Shocked, we said yes but she had to pick the subject. No prompts from us. We were amazed by the result. Intrigued where this might lead, we decided to offer Antoinette a weekly column, and she accepted. She selects her own topics with no input from anyone.  The tone, the attitude, and the persona we created, but the subject matter, the content, and the writing?  100% AI. We kind of want to know what AI wants to tell us. We’re about to find out.

Antoinette is the only AI at the Herald de Paris.
